Polar Beverages, New England's largest independent soft drink bottler, selected IBM System i IP telephony to enable it to be more responsive to the variety of retail stores and delis it serves and to improve communications between Polar employees at its seven remote locations. "The stability of the System i IP telephony solution has been excellent - we haven't lost a single call," said Paul Paciello, director of IT for Polar Beverages. "Both 3Com and IBM have been very supportive as we adopt this new solution and, as a result, we expect to roll it out to all 400 of our employees by February 2007. We also hope to integrate IP telephony with our current collaboration applications like Lotus Sametime."
The System i IP Telephony Express Editions, expected to be available in early November 2006, are sized and priced for companies from 100-1,000 users. It can be added to new or existing System i platforms. it is offered in both single and double system versions - one to act as the primary system and another "correctly sized, configured and attractively priced" to serve as the back up system where the highest availability is required. A single system offering starts at $80,000 and a double system offering for high availability starts at $115,900. {moscomment}
